Some background context: New to finding bras that actually fit because store conventions had me thinking that my boobs were defective. Using bratabase's calculator, I measure closer to a 30e/f, and and am currently looking for my first proper-fitting bra. I think I'm narrow/short rooted, FOB, pendulous and somewhat wide-set.

Even though I know it's not a perfect fit, it's the most comfortable, least-bad-fitting bra that I have right now. The band is too big (just ditched the +4), and the cups give me quad-boob after scoop&swoop. The cups are too wide for me. This model is made of very soft, comfortable material.

I have this same model in a darker shade of tan, and it gives a more pronounced quad-boob.

Some background context: This was one of five full-on underwire bras bought between a period of strictly bralette-wearing years, and the discovery of abrathatfits/r, bratabase, and the Quest for the Grail. The bralettes-only decision came after years of expensive, poorly-fitting, and somewhat demoralizing bra failures. Using bratabase's calculator, I measure closer to a 30e/f, and and am currently looking for my first proper-fitting bra.

Notes on fit: this is a larger cup size that I'd been previously wearing (34C), and I was thrilled at first with what I thought was a great fit, but now know has all the hallmarks of a bad fit. ... The band is definitely too big, being bought before learning about the folly of the +4 band sizing convention. It rides up in the back, offers very little lift, and I do definitely over-tighten the straps to compensate. The cup size is also too small, despite being maxed out in the maker's offerings. This particular color cuts into my breast tissue worse the beige/nude colorway model that I have in the same exact size. I like to think that this model would work well if offered in a band/cup combination more appropriate for me, it's really so far off as to be impossible to tell. I really love how soft and comfortable this material is, but think it's perhaps far too stretchy to ever work for my rather soft breast tissue.
